Yet on Xbian and OpenElec, the HD looks great! Is there a special driver I'm missing? Because I know the raspberry can do better (it's a pi2), and nothing's showing up in "additional drivers"

I'm faced same issue. Xfce background gradient was terrible. Added true color settings to config.txt and fixed.

framebuffer_ignore_alpha=1)
True color mode working like without problem.
But desktop gui performance not good like archlinux or raspbian.

Hi,
I have downloaded this and write to my sd card and ran this on my pi, with no success with the user: linaro , password: linaro logging in.
From the first boot terminal screen:
linaro-developer:'# ( I type "login" )
linaro-developer:'# login (Then type linaro, pass word: linaro )

I did not realize the significance of Blender running on this image. Apparently it doesn't run on either Raspian or the Trusty Ubuntu image because the code they run is backward compatible with the original pi which is ARM6 architecture and the new Pi2 is ARM7. What is significant is that a full version of OpenGL is needed to run Blender and that is why it doesn't run on the old Pi, but it does run on the Pi2, with this image, so there must be a full version of OpenGL available for ARM7. One more reason not to maintain strict backward compatibility with the original pi.

Hey all,
I've been trying to get this[1] to work. For the most part, I think it's good to go, but I'm having the hardest time getting the tiny Edimax EW 7811un wireless adapter to work. I know that this is not directly related to this thread - but was wondering if these newer updates to the image will potentially fix my issue.
If anyone's interested in helping me solve the driver issue, I would really appreciate the help.

HELP I am new to linux
Downloaded and installed Linaro for Raspberry Pi 2 ( as per instructions)
I love the desktop presentation
inserted both mouse/keyboard dongle (works fine )
inserted wifi dongle, it is not recognized by wpa_gui (worked fine with Raspbian)
Inserted netwotk dongle, still no internet access.
Anybody could direct me into the right direction?

Does it work if you download a copy of plain Raspbian on another SDCard and boot that?
What does an lsusb # ell, ess, you, ess, bee command show with the wifi plugged in?

You can use sudo and I'm pretty sure it won't even ask you for a password. If it does, it's your account password.
The linaro image is a little diy so at least for me I had to install wpa-supplicant and change interfaces and wpa_supplicant.conf.

There are 10 types of people: those who understand binary and those who don't.

I've been looking at your "distro" for a couple of days. Great job on rolling this out.

I would like to extend the work you have done to include various embedded capabilities. Is the build environment you used available ? It would save me a lot of work and I'm willing post various upstream updates for others to use.
